The terrorist and violent groups have renounced the judgments of the Quran and Sunnah and threw them behind their backs. Indeed, their methodology, doctrine, and belief are all about barbarism, savagery, and brutality; mercy was taken out from their hearts that turned into rough stones. Allah Almighty, His Prophet (PBUH), and good believers have denounced such heinous groups. It is a pity that those extremists are now out of control, to the extent that we got used to their brutal and inhuman practices and crimes, as if they are thirsty for killing, cutting heads, burning the innocents alive and terrifying people. The cruelty and the brutality of these terrorists reached the extent of throwing the dead’s heads between their legs and playing with them while laughing.
For Muslims, it never happened that their might is great among themselves in such a heinous way that we witness now. Since Allah said about this Ummah: “YOU ARE indeed the best community that has ever been brought forth for [the good of] mankind” [Q. 3: 110]. The Ummah was led to a miserable present and detestable things, with which the Arabic and Islamic Ummah relapsed into chaos, turmoil, rupture, and disorder. Furthermore, the image of Islam was distorted in the eyes of the east, west, and even young Muslims.
The causes of terrorism are as follows: The historical accumulation of extremism and exaggeration tendencies in our heritage, which arose from corrupt interpretations of some texts of the Holy Quran, the Sunnah, and the sayings of the imams. Besides, these interpretations declare those who oppose them as unbelievers. However, these people would not have renounced these legal limits had it not been for their false belief that they are leaders of Muslim armies against infidel peoples and in infidel lands.
Therefore, it is necessary to tighten educational control on schools and universities and to develop curricula that correct misconceptions and ambiguities about issues that kept minds, such as the issue of jihad, the issue of takfir, the danger of division and conflict, and that it is a paved path to a total failure.
